Officer Johanna Green
Officer J. Green began her career in law enforcement as a police officer in Southern California. She joined the Santa Clara Police Department in 2007. She is delighted to have the opportunity to teach D.A.R.E because she is herself a former D.A.R.E graduate. Thus, she believes wholeheartedly in the positive impact the DARE program has on children and juveniles.
Officer J. Green spends her free time pursuing an advanced degree. She enjoys running, reading, writing, and traveling. Her advice to the youth of our community is:
“No matter what hardships or obstacles you encounter, do not forget your dreams and goals. Pursue them with a passion and know that you can accomplish anything if you give it your all and never give up. Make it YOUR life and live it DRUG-FREE.”
Officer Bob Henderson
Bob began his law enforcement career at the Stanford Department of Public Safety in 1992 and transferred to the Santa Clara Police Department in 2001. During the course of his career, he served primarily as a patrol officer where he investigated and enforced hundreds of crimes. He has taken a personal interest over the years in the enforcement of illegal drugs. He has received commendations from his supervisors and outside organizations such as the Optimist Club in Santa Clara and Mothers Against Drunk Driving. He is currently assigned to the Community Services Unit and is excited about his new position as a DARE officer where he is able to share his work experiences in an educational setting.
Bob’s advice for our youth…“Only a bad outcome can result from drug abuse and violence, as it robs one of their dignity, talents and is harmful to society. The betterment of the world can only be accomplished through properly educating ourselves and the conscious and sustained act of good deeds.:”
